The Dude 'Du Jour' of Somalia:
First came the coffee. Then, the handshake. We had an agreement.
In a matter of days I was transported from upper Manhattan to a place with no name, situated at the very edge of the world. Somalia, a place of seemingly endless death, tribal warfare and thousand-year-old vendettas.
Utterly flummoxed and breathtakingly out of my element, I felt like a complete, confused, quixotic impostor.
Mine is the story of an American surgeon stunningly unprepared for the events in which he was about to engage.
In this audio recreation of his book, Dr. Shaber narrates his tale of an American surgeon who volunteered for a mercy mission in Somalia. His voice conveys the passion, disappointment, horror, and, believe it or not, humor of what seemed a never-ending nightmare. Gripping and intimate, it is the perfect companion to the book.
